Posted January 19, 2013 In looking at the "Colorado menu" on escortboards and P411, prior to making a selection, I've noticed that prices on P411 are anywhere from $50 to (in one case) $150 higher than that listed on escortboards for the same ladies. Are P411 gents considered a more lucrative market? When making a request through P411, is it appropriate to mention the escortboard ad and expect the lower rate? Or does this stray into the dreaded realm of "haggling?" 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 19, 2013 When booking I would certainly mention the 'local' rate or ' rate of the day' as posted on EB. No need to stress it though. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 19, 2013 is it appropriate to mention the escortboard ad and expect the lower rate? Totally okay. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2013 ...is it appropriate to mention the escortboard ad and expect the lower rate? Or does this stray into the dreaded realm of "haggling?"I know why ladies list different rates on different sites, but personally, I hate this. I do think one lady has a cool marketing strategy right now where you can pick your rate. I'd mention her name, but don't want to get my first 2013 infraction so early this year 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have never had anyone try to charge the rate from the higher ad. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2013 I know why ladies list different rates on different sites, but personally, I hate this. So do I. Perhaps it is a marketing strategy for the providers-not very helpful to the clients. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2013 Anyone in retail prices differently for different markets. Free enterprise is about getting the best price for your product. Don't take it personally -- Macy's does the same thing. And this month here in the Queen City, prices are inflated because of the stock show. Hundreds of yahoos are in town, off the range for their annual piss-up, and you'll notice that backpage is filled with dozens of transient providers looking for their business. Ride 'em cowboy! Most of the P411/escortboard ladies will compete for these dollars -- just ask nicely. Remember, everything in life is negotiable. Ask for that best price or whatever you think is fair, even it if is not posted.) Be polite and always make every negotiation a win-win proposition -- this way no one loses. Yes, some women will be "offended" if you offer lower than their asking rate. Some even put this in writing. Don't be intimidated by their arrogance, which is often a negotiation technique. If you offer what you consider to be a fair price and she doesn't like it, then chances are you're not going to enjoy meeting her in person. Just move on to the next name on your list. It's a buyer's market, gents. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a buyer's market, gents. Thank you for your response. I wish I could get a bunch of the more experienced guys together for a seminar on this topic. As a relative newcomer to this hobby, I know I've got a lot to learn. I want to be fair, but just don't know the market well enough to know what is appropriate. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 21, 2013 It should be ok to mention an eb donation vs a p411 donation. There is a difference in sites eb/bp are real time site to where p411 and other sites it can take time for changes in donations pictures ect to update and are better left. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 21, 2013 Generally when I see this I feel my intelligence has been insulted and I move the lady down lower on my list. I'm not going to negotiate for a price, because you'll find a million threads on here about how not-classy that is. So I just don't call when I find different prices in different places for the same lady. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P411 pages on the other hand are relatively fixed. You might check the board section of P411. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
